Heras, 3 seconds shy of victory




Roberto Heras had to settle for second place at this year's Brompton world championship. It's hard to believe that Lance Armstrong's former team mate and three times Tour of Spain winner would lose out to a bunch of commuters.

According to the official race results Heras set the fastest lap, but slowed on the second to surrender victory by a bitter tasting three seconds.

Cafevelo rode itself into a world of pain to place in the top 40 (out of 364 finishers).
